The Facts as to Senator VOORHEES, and Luses
Retirement from Office

The Facts as to Senator VOORHEES, and Luse's
Retirement from Office
To the Editor of the Chicago Inter Ocean.
In your issue of Dec. 80 appeared the follow
ing from your Washington correspondent:
THE commission of the register at Deadwood,
d. T., expired the 18th inst, and his successor
will be nominated very soon after the assembling
OF Congress. Although brother in-law of
Senator Voorhees,, Mr.. Luse is Republican and
cannot expect a reappointment. Mr.. Voorhees,
IS, first Of all, an anticivil service man from his
haxen locks to his boo. heels and he says plainly
that any effort to have Mr.. Luse retained would
give him the reproach of compromising with the
faith that is in him for the sake of retaining one
of his family in Office. With Spartan firm
ness, therefore, he turns his back and let's his
brother-inlaw out in the bitterly cold, cold
world of Dakota and Endorses another for
the Office. Mr.. Thomas Hanlon is the gentleman
selected to succeed Mr.. Luse by Mr.. Voorhees,,
and 1t rs stated that Secretary Lamar has prom
ished him the place. Mr.. Hanlon labors under
the slight disadvantage Of having been rejected
by the Senate last summer when nominated as
acknowledgements collector in Indiana but it is
believed that he will not be strongly opposed
this time Having been a ward politician in In
diana, Mr.. Hanlon is eminently qualified to be-
come United States official under the Sparks
regime"
I object most decidedly to the position in
which this places me. because Mr. Voorhees,
knew that had not asked or expected reap
polntment, but in reply to an invitation from
him, eighteen months ago. to avail myself Of his
services most promptly and distinctly said SO.
The following extract from private letter from
Mr.. Voorhees, conveys a very different impress
sion from that of your Washington correspond
emit. 1t is follows:
UNITED STATES SENATE, Dec. 81, 1856.
The hon James P. Luse. United States Land oflce,
Deadwood, D. T.:
My Dear Sir-Your very kind letter has been re-
ceved and it has afforded great deal OF pleasure
Oh course was of the fact that you were not
asking for disappointment and probably not expect
ing it; yet keenly desired such an event The cir
cumstances however surrounding and the admin
is.retion here such as to render it impossible
l am sure you will be gratifed to know the opinion
il which you held by the General Land Office and
by the head of the department.. They say your ad.
mnistration of your Office has been perfection and
that they will part with you with great reluctance.
They speak of you 1.-The best in theservice.n While,
of course this does not surprise at ALL vet 1t is
pleasant to hear. d. ". VOORHEES,.
l have other and stronger evidences of the fact
that was not an applicant for reappointnent,
and that Mr.. Voorhees, knew it. BY publishing
the foregoing you will do me but simple Justice.

do it.

Goshen Times: The action of Green Smith
and his advisers will react upon the Democratic
party, and, if they persist in their course. the
State can be considered reliably Republican in
1888
North Manchester Journal: The attempt to
usurp the Office Of Lieutenant governor, made

a Kick at Voorhees,.

Evansville Courier (ilem.)
There is one consolation for Democrats. Mr..
Voorhees, absence from the Senate does not en-
danger the adoption of any Democratic measure.
He voted with the Republicans for all of the of
fensive bills that passed the last session of the
Senate, and in interviews since the November
election he has declared his continued opposition
to tariff reform. as the Democratic majority IN
Congress understand the term. So that Mr..
Voorhees, absence from Washington is no dis
advantage to the Democrats, though the Repub
licans may miss him.

4AJltSIl chronicle.
The Supreme Court of Georgia has
just decided an important case,
arising out of the mortgage loans by
land companies, now so common.
One Merck borrowed some money
from an English money-lending CON-
pany, and gave notes therefor, con-
tanning the usual stipulation that, if
collected by legal process, he would
pay ten per cent. on the amonnt re-
covered to the lenders attorney as
his fee. 1t was further a part of the
agreement whereby Merck obtained
the money that he was to pay the
commissioes Of the agent who ne.
gotiated the loan.
Merck made default in payment
and was sued. He plead that tue
contract was usurious, or, in other
words, that the agreement to pay
COMMISSIONS to the lenders agent
for negotiating the loan and to pay
the lenders attorney his fees for COL
lection were mere shifts and devices
for obtaining a greater rate for the
use of the money than that allowed
by law. Judge WelborD, who tried
the case in Hall Superior Court, ruled
that the transaction was not usurious
and the Supreme Court susSains his
view. We think the decision correct.

Not the Kind but the Number of Them.

While Judge Hudson, and a good
portion of the lawyers, Legislators
and journalists of the State are en-
gagged in a laudable attempt to re-
construct the criminal law, Judge
Norton is turning his attention to
reconstructing the wardrobes of the
legal fraternity. He insists that
lawyers discard the ephemeral pomp
and display of tho ready made,
pepper and salt business suit and
appear before him in Severe and SIM
pie black.
1t is revival or rather re.enforce.
ment of an old rule, whose use, if it
ever had any, has long since disap:

the rate prescribed by law. In
Merck's case it was not complained
that the London company itself re-
ceiSed more than the legal rate, but
it was claimed that the agents COM
missions and the attorneys fees
were a part of the general agreement
by which the money was loaned, and
that these amounts much exceeded
the legal rate, and made the whole
transaction illegal. AS the court
looks at it, the London company only
bargained for the legal rate Of inter.
est, which represented the value of
the money it loaned. The agent
only bargained for the value of his
services to the borrower in getting
him the money, on which services the
law sets no fixed price, leaving par
ties to make their own contracts, and
the stipulation as to attorneys fees
is only that the borrower should bear
the cost of his failure to fulfil his
contract instead of throwing it on

Some Famous Kisses.

TWO kisses that bid fair to be
famous in their results are the talk
of the newspapers. One of them
helped the democrats to lose Ohio.
The Chicago Tribune says of it:
General Gordon's osculatory ex-
plot N Ohio was as pathetic as an
Ella Wheeler poem. It was an un-
kissed kiss" ..-s f.. l-
The unkissed kiss is not, however,
half as sad as the kiss kissed in the
wrong place. Of this, the second
famous kiss the Boston Globe says:
"Mrs. Langtry threatens to discharge
her leading man because he kissed
her shoe. The Lily should not be so
particular. He couldn't hurt the
shoe that way"
It seems, indeed, that no man can
be too particular what and how he
kisses.
The conscientious kisser knows
that
There's many slip

The Corn Crop.

According to the government crop
report for November, the corn crop of
the whole country will average
little less that twenty bushels an
acre for 100000 acres. The
whole crop amounts to l,453,0o0,0O0
bushels. This is l8s,0O0,000 bush
els below the yield of last year. Es-
timating this loss at forty cents q
bnshel, it is a loss or $74,400,000.
The government report says that
the country has raised but one good
corn crop since 1880, and that was
the one of 1885, which amounted to
l,936,000,000 bushels. The crop Of
the present year, according to the
figures of the department, is the
smallest of this decade, except thss
of 1881. During the past eight years
the Weld has been as follows:
